Anyone seen this! Japan's 370z Nismo

RedlineAZ · 03-18-2012, 12:54 AM

I've always wondered the same thing. It didn't make sense to me why the Nismo's can't come with leather or Nav, its not like the car is ONLY going to be used as a track car. Even the GT3-RS has a nav option, and that car is a straight up track car. I've actually contacted Nissan about that kind of stuff before. It's pretty annoying how my brothers 09 GTR doesn't have automatic headlights, but the 06 altimas had them lol, and so do our 370z's. They say its for weight reduction and whatever else excuse they have, but in reality anyone that's THAT concerned with weight reduction and shedding a few milliseconds off their track times will be more likely to strip the car anyways.

Exactly my point. Most track versions of any car nowadays has luxury features regardless of the manufacturer. The Nismo is actually heavier than a Touring Z and is known to be slower in straights than the regular Z. I don't understand why other markets dont get the Nismo like Japan's fully loaded Nismo. I honestly think they would sell more than they do right now.

Sport versions of the "regular" Z should come with the Nismo front bumper! Would have saved me a ton of time.

That's why you got touring z with real track upgrades.
